C. H ELLINGTON, Ordinary. Tbe Dixie Creamery By E E. West. Dear Editob ; ! I promised to write an article thin I week ou the D.xie Creamery; so here it j,e. Bit first I want to correct an error 1 made in Jn#t week’# letter, I #aid there wire tuo Devon cows at the Station, ilicy mtc not Devon but Durham. The Dixie Creamery i* a model build ing of it# cIuHH, though the equipment# not entirely up-to date, yet thoroughly efficient. It in a neat building and ha# the appearance of ft cottage, and won id bo mistaken for one* were it not for the engine’# #raok< -.stack. I'* equipment consists A a 15 horse power boiler and aueugiu** of less pow r, milk and cream vats, a Del-rival sep arator, 200-jallon churn, power butter worker, ice machinery and refrigerating room. A# to the ownership T am not inform ed ; Mr. Wallace, its manager, and Mr. Wing, the Btaiion dairyman, probably owning the gr atey inter Toe labor required consist# of two men, Mr. Welsh, the butter maker, who get# a good salary, and Bam, the negro all-service trfta. This i# all the labor re quired, and at preHMit they don’t get enough milk to keep them busy half the day. About an aveinge < f 1200 pound# of mi k is brought to the Creamery every day, and tbi# would turn out about 70 pound# of butter each flay if it were alt made into butter, but a great part of the milk in poatemieed and #oid a# poatem ized milk and cream. The order# for butter, milk and cream can not*be filled, and people nro waiting with pitcher#, Cftiir, etc., to buy llie but termilk as noon as it i* churned at 5 cent# per gallon. The plant i# capacitated to handle 0,000 o 7,000 pound# of milk per day And get# only 1200 pounds. No obceve i# made— indeed they hnvo no cheese im{ 1 uuentp. Mr. Wing ho# Hiioeecded in getting ex* Governor Northen to apply to the rail road# for transportation for a party of reprcß ntative dairymen and bimiue## men of Thomson to Griffin to inspect tlm Dixie Creamery, and the pause# will no doubt be scoured. A.l person# engaged in tho dairy bUHimsi or interested there in, men end women, who want to join this party of inspection should givo their name# to Mr. E. B. Wiisou no that he cau Bond them to ex-Governor Northen for the pafSi H. In my next letter I intend to write an article on Griffin, tlii# plucky, progress ive little city that can boi#t,of four cot ton factories, an oil mill, pant# factory, chaii factory, hose factory and creamery.

Casting no Hhadow before as do many mid ! event*, this bright young life went sudden j Jy out having a loving circle overwhelmed by the shock und inteimity of their sorrow. It Wan like the hl.istiug of a beautiful garden iu Spring by the breath of a Hi moon But ns the flowers will unfold again in their beauty and fiagrnnce even so this j pure spirit wtll live again und be more per-' fcctly developed by the light nud warmth permeating Paradise. In the frouhnoH'i of grief it is difficult to understand why alio should bn called in the morning of life to come up higher und rest | from her Jabots when tin* duties of mother ; hood were pro sing cloaley on her heart m.d ! ciiUiug for the beat c(Torts of her entire na ture; hut aoino sweet day we shall son clear, ly that God's plans are wiser than our plans. ’Tie true that live little hearts will hunger evermore for the emh r mother love and five littlo souls will miss the wise, watchful care they have received, but they will not be forgotten. God who cutes even for the little sparrows will remember them tender ly nnd supply their needs. These little children have a rich legacy in the record of their Mviet yo ng mother’s life nml chaiuc ter for she was good nud true, unselfish und * bravo. With a hopeful, sunny nature that o ndd ! see the silver liuiug to every cl >ud, slie was ! ever cheerful and patient, bearing bravely whatever of disappoiutuicut life, brought her. Unselfishness, however, was the moat : prominent characteristic of her nature and 1 it was this that made her lift* luminous with { words and deed* that were kind nu l help ful. She counted uo sacrifice of self in her < ff<>rts to minister to others Truly “kind hearts are more than coronets” and Mis Gardner hail a realization of this fact in the joy that came to her from deeds that wore kind, noble and true, making her “.ife one gaud sweet song.
